Helpline: Dropping day naps, challenging toddlers and more

Raising small children is full of challenges. They may be waking through the night, refusing food or behaving in confusing ways. Mothercraft nurse Chris Minogue has been helping parents solve these dilemmas for over 30 years.

Today she gives advice on:

• A two-and-a-half-year-old trying to drop a needed nap
• A twenty-two-month-old who sleeps well at night, but not so well during the day
• Managing challenging toddler behaviours
• A twenty-two-month-old procrastinating at bedtime
• A three-and-a-half year-old rejecting dad
• A four-month-old having short naps
• A 12-month-old waking several times at night for a breastfeed
